每经记者｜金喆 陈鹏丽 吴泽鹏 每经编辑｜文多 面对这样的威胁，人类与蚊子的"攻防战"已经持续千年。从传统的蚊帐、杀虫剂，到如今的基因编辑、生物防治，人类的应对方式在不断升级，却始终未能 彻底终结这场较量。 这场跨越时空的"人蚊之战"，仍在等待新的解决方案。 "以蚊治蚊"，基孔肯雅热的另类防疫方案 今年夏天，由白纹伊蚊传播的基孔肯雅病毒在广东多地点状散发，防蚊灭蚊成了防疫关键。 很长一段时间里，人类驱灭蚊虫主要有两种方式，一是物理方式，如孳生地清理、挂蚊帐、装纱窗、开灭蚊灯等；二是化学方式，如使用蚊香片（液）、气 雾剂等。 图片来源：广州威佰昆生物科技有限公司官网截图 很多人可能不知道，8月20日是"世界蚊子日"，且它被赋予这一意义已有100多年历史。"蚊子日"是为了提醒人们注意，蚊子是传播疟疾及其他疾病的媒介。 数据显示，全球已发现的蚊子种类超3600种，它们的"足迹"遍布全球。 蚊子作为多种致命疾病的传播媒介，疟疾、登革热、寨卡病毒等借由其叮咬扩散。根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的最新数据，蚊虫平均每年造成全球78万人 死亡，位居最致命动物榜第一。 图片来源：广州威佰昆生物科技有限公司官网截图 今年的广东"灭 ...

Core Viewpoint - The key to controlling Chikungunya fever lies in mosquito prevention and extermination through innovative biological methods [1][2] Group 1: Company Overview - Guangzhou Weibai Kun Biological Technology Co., Ltd. operates a facility in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, known as the "mosquito factory" [1] - The company currently produces 5 million "sterile male mosquitoes" weekly, utilizing a biological technique to disrupt the mosquito breeding chain [1] Group 2: Technology and Methodology - The "mosquito control" strategy focuses on reducing the population of Aedes mosquitoes, leveraging the symbiotic relationship between Wolbachia bacteria and mosquito vectors [1] - The produced mosquitoes are termed "beneficial mosquitoes" or "sterile male mosquitoes," which, when mating with wild female mosquitoes, result in non-viable eggs due to cytoplasmic incompatibility [1] Group 3: Advantages and Safety - The "mosquito control" technology is noted for its high efficiency, low biological safety risks, and environmentally friendly characteristics, with a key feature being its precision targeting [1] - The released male mosquitoes do not bite humans, thus not increasing the risk of mosquito bites [1] Group 4: Future Plans - Since 2015, the company's "mosquito control" technology has been tested in various regions across the country, yielding impressive results [2] - The company plans to collaborate with grassroots organizations for ongoing mosquito prevention efforts and aims to institutionalize the "mosquito control" initiative [2]

Core Viewpoint - The increasing public awareness of mosquito prevention is driving the growth of related products and services in the market [3][5]. Group 1: Market Demand and Trends - The demand for mosquito repellent products has surged due to rising temperatures and increased rainfall, leading to a higher incidence of mosquito-borne diseases [3][4]. - In Guangdong, from July 27 to August 2, there were 2,892 new reported cases of local transmission of Chikungunya fever, prompting local governments to initiate mosquito control measures [4]. - Sales of mosquito repellent products in supermarkets have doubled in recent weeks, with overall sales up by 30% compared to July [7][5]. Group 2: Product Development and Consumer Behavior - Consumers are increasingly purchasing mosquito repellent products from supermarkets, with products prominently displayed and marketed with various features such as "baby-friendly" and "outdoor use" [6][7]. - The market for mosquito repellent products is still dominated by traditional items like floral water and incense, with a lack of innovation appealing to younger consumers [8][6]. Group 3: Biological Control Measures - Several cities in South China are experimenting with biological control methods to reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses, including the introduction of non-biting mosquito species and fish that consume mosquito larvae [12][13]. - The "mosquito factory" model, which involves releasing infected male mosquitoes to suppress the population of disease-carrying females, has shown promising results in international contexts [13][14]. Group 4: Recommendations for Public Health - Public health departments are encouraged to adopt proactive measures for mosquito control, including regular supply of necessary products and public awareness campaigns [17][12]. - The cost of implementing biological control measures is estimated to be between 2 to 3 yuan per square meter, with potential for cost reduction as the scale of the project increases [14][16].
